| Beds with Cedar chips Hello Has anyone else heard that you cannot have a bed for your YT with Cedar chips in it. I was told by my breeder (who was a ditz, I found out later) that it isn't good for their breathing. Help |

I did a Google search and found this thread. Will a dog bed with cedar chips mixed in make my dog sick? - Yahoo! Answers I plan to continue to use the cedar bed even though it gets mixed comments. Some negatives may or may not be based on actual experience.

| My husband's dog has a cedar bed...but all three of my yorkies lay on it, sleep on it. Don't always buy into the hype. There is always going to be someone that thinks something is harmful.

| I never heard that before but my dh did bring one home for our other dog years ago and she would not go in it ..she would sniff it and sneeze and lay on the other side of the kitchen on the floor so she wasn't near it....I didn't like the smell either so we got rid of it.

| cedar chips are bad for a rabbit's respitory system---so i imagine that it would be for a dog's to a lesser degree.

| They say the same thing about using cedar shavings for rats, hamsters, etc. I dunno how much is true and how much is an exaggeration. We used it for all my rodents growing up and they generally lived good long lives other then rare situations with extenuating circumstances. (we had a rat somehow hang himself in his cage) And I have heard it about rabbits too, but it may be more wives tale than fact. |

| I've never heard of that one before. Our bigger dog has a huge dog house filled with cedar chips and we've never had any problems. |
